  1. “In West Africa, laudable major initiatives have been launched at national, regional and subregional levels, in particular the adoption of the Praia Plan of Action against drug-trafficking; the ECOWAS Regional Action Plan and the West Africa Coast Initiative. Today, a new approach is being developed by ECOWAS, the Economic Community of Central African States and the Commission of the Gulf of Guinea in order to respond to emerging challenges in the context of the Gulf of Guinea, among other things. Because of its geographic position and in response to various challenges generated by trans-Atlantic drug- trafficking and piracy in the Gulf of Guinea, Morocco has already taken the initiative of bringing together, in August 2009, 22 African countries issuing from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Cape of Good Hope.”

  2. “Today those regions find themselves facing increasingly complex challenges that have resulted, for most part, from drug-trafficking and a newly emerging generation of transnational organized crime activities characterized by major robberies, piracy at sea and terrorism, activities heretofore unknown in our region. Those criminal networks are increasingly linked and replenish each other while growing internationally, thus strengthening their destructive ability and destabilizing effects. Furthermore, the increasingly clear interconnections among transnational organized crime, armed groups and separatist movements and small terrorist groups are, in our region, a source of concern, to which the international community should devote greater attention.”

  3. “Together with today's discussions and those of last month on the Sahel region, the upcoming debate will make it possible to clarify an overall perspective on the situation in West Africa, a region that is dear to us and with which we share centuries-old ties. I also thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) for their presence and contributions to the discussion. Transnational organized crime is a real challenge to stability in West Africa and the Sahel region. It threatens the sovereignty of States and all efforts aimed at building peace and development in the region.”

  4. “Mr. Amrani (Morocco) (spoke in French): First of all, my delegation would like to welcome President Faure Essozimna Gnassingbe, who has enhanced the Council by his participation in this important meeting. At the same time, on behalf of the Kingdom of Morocco, I would like to thank the Togolese Republic for its initiative in organizing a discussion on an issue of major importance to West Africa and the Sahel region and the entire African continent. We also thank your country, Mr. President, for organizing a public debate on 27 February to discuss the report of the assessment mission (S/2012/42) that visited countries in the Gulf of Guinea, as well as your country's determined commitment to defend African interests in the Security Council.”

  5. “We sincerely hope that negotiations on the draft will produce consensus in the Security Council that gives impetus to the launching of a political process involving both the Syrian Government and the opposition, through serious and responsible dialogue that leads to a new era in the great history of our brotherly Syrian people.”

  6. “Finally, the fourth principle is to exclude any foreign military intervention. In accordance with paragraph 7 of the latest decision of the Council of the Arab League, taken at its ministerial meeting of 22 January, and in its capacity as the Arab member of the Security Council, Morocco has introduced a draft resolution that enjoys the support of Member States both inside and outside the Security Council. The objective of the draft in particular is to seek Security Council endorsement of the road map adopted by the Arab League in order to reach a political solution to the crisis in Syria. It also seeks the Council's support for Arab decisions aimed at ending all acts of violence and the bloodshed in Syria.”

  7. “That led the League of Arab States to reassess the situation and launch an Arab initiative that addresses all aspects of the crisis. It is a political approach based on the non-use of force, dialogue, the formation of a national unity Government and preparations for democratic elections. It is worth recalling that, during all phases of the Arab endeavours, the Arab countries have consistently stressed the following cardinal principles. The first involves the immediate and full cessation of all acts of violence and use of force, as well as the promotion of political dialogue. The second principle is to allow the Syrian people to fulfil their legitimate aspirations to build their national institutions. The third is to preserve Syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the cohesiveness of its pluralistic society.”

  8. “That decision was prompted by the dangerous escalation of the situation and by Syria's choice of the security option, which has claimed an increasing number of victims. We believe that the mission afforded a good opportunity to establish conditions conducive to the calm required to turn the page and begin a new period free of violence. However, the Council of the Arab League, at its ministerial meeting of 22 January, concluded in its assessment that Syria's implementation of some of its commitments was insufficient. The presentation of the report of the observer mission (S/2012/71, enclosure 4) has coincided with a very serious escalation of violence and an unprecedented increase in the number of victims, including children and sometimes entire families.”

  9. “Morocco was among the first countries to contribute to the Arab League's observer mission, which had access to areas where confrontations had been taking place. Morocco kept its observers in the field until the end of last week, despite the difficulties and obstacles they faced in fulfilling their humanitarian mission. In that regard, while we applaud the efforts made by the members of the mission, who worked devotedly under very difficult and dangerous conditions, we fully understand the motivations and reasons that led the States of the Gulf Cooperation Council to withdraw their own observers from the mission. We also consider the decision of the League of Arab States to suspend the mission as being fully justified.”

  10. “Such involvement has been undertaken in accordance with the provisions of the United Nations Charter, which calls on regional organizations to strive to prevent conflicts and their escalation and to seek their resolution by available peaceful means, without prejudice to the primary responsibility of the Security Council for the maintenance of international peace and security. Thus, in view of the escalating situation in Syria and the thousands of victims felled, the widening confrontations and the absence of dialogue between the parties, the League of Arab States took the initiative to stop the bloodshed by sending a team of observers to monitor the Syrian Government's implementation of its commitments and to protect unarmed Syrian civilians.”

  11. “The phenomenon now commonly called the Arab Spring has highlighted the aspirations of Arab peoples to entrench democracy and respect for human rights and to live in dignity and social justice. The Arab countries have responded to those legitimate demands according to their respective specificities, abilities and experience. Building on their active solidarity with those aspirations, the Arab countries have contributed when necessary, through the League of Arab States or subregional groupings, to resolving intractable crises, which cannot be likened to interference in the internal affairs of the concerned countries.”

  12. “We have noted in particular that the two Arab officials have stressed the importance, utility and viability of the Arab initiative for addressing the situation in Syria and laying the ground for a solution based on dialogue and national reconciliation and concord. We have also noted their emphasis on calling upon Council members to endorse the Arab plan and extend to it the support necessary to ensure its earliest possible implementation in order to end the increasingly painful situation in Syria. We express our sincere hope that the Security Council will support the Arab plan, allowing Syria to regain its national harmony, tranquillity and stability.”

  13. “Mr. Amrani (Morocco) (spoke in Arabic): At the outset, let me thank you, Sir, for convening this important meeting of the Security Council. My thanks go also to the other members of the Council for providing Sheikh Hamad bin J assim bin Jabr Al-Thani, head of the Arab Ministerial Committee on Syria, and His Excellency Mr. Nabil Elaraby, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, with the opportunity to enlighten the Council on the tragic situation in Syria and on the League's determined efforts to address the crisis. My delegation has listened carefully to the two briefings on the crisis in sisterly Syria and the consequences of a confrontation that has claimed innocent lives, led to the severe suffering of civilians and caused the displacement of families within Syria or to neighbouring countries.”
